Girls at Play...

Andrew went hunting, so Savannah and I decided not to spend the day alone at home, and went to Fir Point Farms. They're having their pumpkin / harvest celebration, so we went to see what was going on. Our first stop was to go on a hay ride. It was probably more fun for Savannah than for me, but we had a great time.

We were able to see a lot of fun things - and do some fun things, but it truly would have been better if Andrew had been there.

By the way... this is me at 22 weeks pregnant... over halfway there!

This was stop number two... amazing to me how brave this little punkin has gotten - not only did she want to pick the caterpillar up, she thought it was cool when it started walking up her arm. We actually saw this guy at the pumpkin slinging area where Savannah did her best to pull a slingshot back and shoot a pumpkin out into the field. It didn't go very far, but she had a blast trying! I'm not sure if she liked the caterpillar more than the pumpkin though...

This was our third stop... this pumpkin was the grand-daddy of them all weighing in at 1150 lbs. Savannah is so short compared to the pumpkins! But... it was sure fun to see them and to know that they would make good pies... carving would be a moster, and so would baking, but imagine what you can do with 1200 lbs of pumpkin???

Fir Point farms has a slide into hay... Savannah came down so fast the first time that I didn't get to take her picture - so I had her go down again.

More things we did this summer...

Playing in the warm sand...
letting Dad catch her as she comes off the slide...
At the beach with Kennedy...
Let's do that water slide again, Dad!

Things we did this summer...

for those of you who have been patiently (or not) waiting for some more pictures on our blog... I've finally gotten my computer to the stage that I can add photos without taking up too much room. And I've been able to play with the pictures to make them better too.

It's taken time, but here they are!

It's Pumpkin Smashing time!

Actually, it's not the parking under it that's the problem. It's having a crane lift that giant pumpkin 150+ feet in the air and then dropping the pumpkin on the parked van that's the problem. This particular pumpkin weighed between 7 and 8 HUNDRED pounds... I asked if they'd somehow weakened the structures on the van before dropping the pumpkin - the only thing that was done to the van was glass removal. Sure am glad this isn't MY van! I wonder what the insurance company would say about his kind of an accident?

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...

this is what happens when you park under a giant pumpkin...
